Entry Description

I fly a lot with the hope of capturing stunning scenes and epic
moments which can further amplify my existing portfolio of
images, but for this particular image submitted, all I did was
open my yards door, observed these visitors for a few minutes,
surmised they wont be flying off soon, grabbed my camera,
some extension tubes and tripod and threw a prayer they'd stay.
Every millimeter of movement was precious, my mind was
going..."almost there..almost there".. and my subjects gave me a
ten minute window to capture something special at the comfort
of my own home. No flights required for this one..
